First of all, I was on a bit of a rant--I'm a Newfoundlander, nonetheless--and the reason is that I'm quite frustrated that I'm looking at no witnesses today. When we discussed this last week, perhaps we weren't clear enough to the clerk that we wanted the witnesses to appear. Therefore, I'm bringing clarity and a suggestion as to how we proceed. If there was not clarity on Monday, I want to ensure clarity so that we can get through this.
As I said, I don't care if we have to have special meetings. I don't care if we have to meet during our constituency week. I think it's my responsibility as a member of Parliament to ensure public trust. And if the Conservatives are, as they say they are, open and transparent, then great, we'll get to the bottom of this sooner rather than later. But I continue to have lots of evidence coming forward that I need to question, and I would like to be able to do that. Hence, I wrote up a list of potential witnesses.
We have a list, which we gave, and now, to ensure clarity, I want to be able to go through it. This is how I would like to see the month. Everybody else can make their suggestions as well. I'm putting forward a suggestion on how we proceed in this committee to ensure that we get the work done that I've been sent here to do.
If I could continue with my list, that would be great.
I don't know where we stopped.
